How to Read Erotic Poetry

Poetry can lift the soul and enlighten the senses. Read erotic poetry on your honeymoon or just to spice up a marital relationship that seems to require a little romantic energy. Generally erotic poetry lays its meaning bare, which makes it much easier to understand than other types of poetry. The most important thing to remember when reading any type of poetry is to have fun.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Find an erotic poem of interest. Search online or at local bookstores. Select or purchase the poetry. Try reading the poem aloud or just enjoy it yourself. Set aside time to focus on the poem.

2. Silently read through the poem once. Circle the punctuation or insert punctuation where it makes sense. Look up any words that are unfamiliar. Write down the meanings. This helps you to read the poem smoothly and with expressiveness.

3. Read the poem aloud. Try a couple different rhythms until you find one that's feels comfortable. Ignore the line breaks. The punctuation or flow of the words should determine when to pause.

4. Determine the emotion of the poem by re-reading it. Think about how your voice sounds as you read the poem and what energy best fits the subject matter.

5. Study the poem again and enjoy the erotic nature of the words.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that words may be out of order. Rearrange words to see if the poem makes more sense.
• Don't focus on single words or phrases that don't seem to fit. Move past them and look at the poem as a whole.
